Pinned Review

Jeff Buckley - Grace
100

I wondered for a long time, what I wanted to write for this review. I've had a long history with this album in my time exploring new material in this way; My first time through it, I actually did *not* like it. To be honest, I have no idea why, especially now. I must've been in a pissy mood when I first reviewed it, I put it at a 70 and then I think I lowered it retrospectively to 65 for some reason.

Well as you can see, now not only is it a 100, it is, as of me writing this, my ... read more

Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
80

This was a very interesting album, intrigued by its album concept, I enjoyed the connecting tissue of the radio station jargon as we cruise through both the album and the California desert. Very heavy and loud instrumentation, to its benefit, I really enjoyed it contrary to much of my album tastes. Especially the latter half, I'd say Go With The Flow and onward, are all incredible. In particular, Go With The Flow itself, God Is In the Radio, Song for the Deaf, and the finale Mosquito Song, ... read more

Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left
90

Beautiful, soothing, thoughtful, and yet sad. Just like myself in a way. Maybe that's why I identified with this album so much; Beautiful guitar and string arrangements, with a soft voice that dances with the lyrics beautifully. I felt things with this album that I often don't feel! My favourites include Way to Blue, Day is Done, Fruit Tree, and Saturday Sun. This is a master storyteller and writer, and I'm excited to see how his next two albums build upon this here!

Bee Gees - Main Course
90

This album and the Bee Gees as a whole deserve to be more widely reviewed and listened to on this site. The amount of innovation and the eclectic level of genres represented here is truly great! Everyone knows, or should know at least, Nights on Broadway and Jive Talkin', which are the first two songs on this album. You'd think with that they would've front loaded this album and filled the latter half with filler like some artists do, but no, this album is extremely consistent in ... read more

Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline
80

Dylan goes for a drastically different tone than most of his prior albums here; and that goes in multiple ways. After John Wesley Harding had more of a country feel to it, he fully embraces the country persona here. It feels pretty homey and nice! Dylan's voice is also much more melodic and smooth, it's a completely different flavour of his vocal style, I was shaken first hearing it, but I enjoy it in its own way. It's a dramatic shift in style and sound, somewhat seeming a bit ... read more
